It’s amazing the lengths how reactionaries go to hide what they really mean. It’s most on display when we around and around entertaining their insane notions that acknowledging systemic racism is the actual racism. It’s shocking how often t

Yeah that’s why I said port of entry. I meant that this is fine for me if I’m exiting the airport.

As a US citizen i would only expect someone to force me to unlock my phone at a US port of entry, not when leaving. And yeah i'm willing to waste their time on my way back from the trip if they try to waste mine.

I love iTerm2! Thank you for your hard work! I updated a machine i am partially responsible for that was two patch versions behind and at first it only updated to the one previous to this patch. It strikes me that the update check should al

I've dealt with this problem my whole life and tbh it's a cost/benefit trade off. Assuming your employer isn't being flexible enough to upgrade they are simply saying that the risk of exploitation of employee machines is

I have to assume that people are reacting to the fact that your OS isn't supported anymore. Check the top reply to your question.

Yes their recent trend of moving user privacy to the forefront is one of the few really positive trends i've seen out of apple in the past 2-3 years. Ignoring that the questions being asked by the OS are good is very bizarre.

I'm not sure I understand. I've just observed a staggering amount of internet commenters (often, but not at all limited to, people who are made very upset by people they label "sjw"s) assert either directly or by implica

yeah thats basically what i was going for here. ammo-fetishists and people who cant tell the difference between reality and movies are rampant in america, imo.

Amazing. Don Quixote is a very underrated book.

Is anyone else worried about this trend where people seem to believe the more angry someone gets at the things they say the more correct they must be?

In my experience when these people are made the least bit uncomfortable in any social situation they immediately call the police. They're not who they pretend to be online.

From experience, people who are able to live their lives casually collecting weapons here are also able to live pretty disconnected from the reality of these types of situations. We're long, long past a world where a rag tag band of id

I understand what you're saying and i'd like to point out, as i have done in other places, that I am a real fan of RMS and his works and have been for years. I'm not on a witch hunt here. But. I think its really important for

And what im saying is that 1) there are material consequences for "expressing an unpopular opinion." some of which aren't up to the person expressing them. 2) those determining the consequences, such as the organizations that

You're describing life in every single society that has ever existed. Do you really believe that any of these things don't happen today or that there's been a place where they didn't happen? Further, all of your "op

It's designed to suggest that richard stallman's comments are exactly what a creep would sound like and blind defense of him without acknowledging this fact doesn't win anyone any points. Personally I love the guy and his w

Let's be honest, the people who disagree with your comment are worried that eventually someone will out them for their terrible behavior as well! It's shocking to me how unaccustomed to being held accountable some people are. Here

Minimum wage is not, on its own, enough to afford average rent anywhere in America. If you're making minimum wage and have no other access to support: you're poor. This is, ultimately the major reason why the status quo never chan

Interesting that this comment is getting poor reception when this has shown, historically, to be a very effective way of dealing with oligarchs. Especially ones that, as you've correctly stated, have a long history of breaking laws and

You seem to be implying a false choice here. Specifically that we (the government is comprised of individuals) can not engage both in labor protections at the same time as we attempt to create a universal health care system.

I should have been more clear in my comment that we need to allow the lower classes free access to the subway. You're absolutely right that distance-based fares with no support structures would fuck a lot of vulnerable people.

If you think “make the countdown clocks work” is a small thing you haven’t researched this problem thoroughly. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/11/why-d...
